Smoke from steering wheel

I also thought I was going crazy on my way home from work today. there was a bit of smoke coming from the steering wheel. it stopped and when I got home the car seemed fine, I couldn't smell anything odd or see anything and the engine looked fine. I am about to drive 5 mins away and I have to get to work in the morning. is it safe to do so? I am going to call my mechanic in the am.
